409 EL GRECO DRIVE BRANDON FL 33511 | MLS #TB8551575 | Gary Kusher | Florida Real Estate

Welcome to this South Brandon gem tucked away in Gallery Gardens. This charming 1968 ranch-style home is situated on a beautiful .70+-acre lot backing to Buckhorn Creek. From the moment you pull into the gravel driveway, there is something about this property that simply feels like home. Cheerful yellow siding & brick, a side-entry garage, beautiful shade trees and a glimpse of the open-air pool with its fun slide set the tone. You see this spacious yard and want to either kick off your shoes and enjoy the quiet or grab the wiffle ball set. Lovingly owned by the same family for many years, the home has been adapted over time, giving it a character that is hard to recreate. Enter through the front foyer into a spacious formal area. A living room with a brick fireplace and multiple bay windows along with a large formal dining room. Or come in through the garage, as a friend, into the charming kitchen with its time-worn original cabinetry, brass tin backsplash and a center island that begs for a tray of Rice Krispie treats. The breakfast nook is accented with warm pine details and leads into the true heart of the home, a HUGE family room with exposed wood beams and French doors opening to an incredible wraparound back porch. Pavered floors, ceiling fans, hooks for porch swings and a tin roof create the kind of outdoor space you will want to use year-round, especially when you can sit outside and listen to the rain. Beyond the porch, hardscape pavers surround the oversized in-ground pool with plenty of room for lounging, entertaining and soaking up the Florida sunshine. Back inside, the primary bedroom with en suite bath is placed at the end of the hallway along with two secondary bedrooms and a full hall bath. The oversized side-entry two-car garage provides plenty of room for parking and storage. Major updates include septic and drainfield replaced in 2026, HVAC in 2021 and roof in 2015. Dedicated well for the sprinklers keep water bills LOW. Gallery Gardens has no HOA, generous homesites with plenty of breathing room between neighbors. This established nieghborhood is coveted for its’ central location and puts you minutes from shopping, dining and the interstate, yet once you turn down the winding road, it feels wonderfully removed from it all. It’s good to be home.
